Customer Reviews
Annoyingly Nick Robinson actually makes you believe politicians care about us!
This podcast is really annoying- it’s so much easier to believe the common narrative that politicians are stupid, vain and only care about themselves (especially those, on the other side of the political spectrum, that don’t agree with our worldview) and that’s nice and simple. Then along come Nick Robinson and shows that the vast majority of politicians are actually caring, funny and care passionately about their electorate. What is the world coming to when we have to change our worldview rather than rely on caricatures?
Old Hack
How about less of the stereotyped aging hack reminiscing and more straight forward interviews. Can be informative if formulaic.
Good Work.
Inspired and very personal observations from a presenter with humanity, objectivity and access. Keep up the great work Nick.
